The Faith Test | Genesis 22 When God tested Abraham by asking him to sacrifice his son Isaac, it wasn't to destroy his faith—it was to reveal it. In the same way, every believer will face moments when obedience feels impossible, when the knife is raised and the cost seems too high. In those moments, remember this: what God asks you to release, He replaces with something greater. Abraham discovered it on Mount Moriah—the very mountain where, generations later, another Father would not spare His only Son. If you're walking through a test, take heart. The Lord who provides on the mountain is the same God who will meet you in your trial.

The Birth of Isaac | Genesis 21:1–21 | Pastor Zach Terry God always keeps His promises — even when it seems impossible. In this message, Pastor Zach Terry walks through the long-awaited birth of Isaac, the child of promise, and contrasts it with the birth of Ishmael, the child of human effort.

Dealing with the Root | Genesis 20 What's beneath the surface will eventually break through. Just like roots can crack the strongest foundation, spiritual "roots" left undealt with—fear, anger, bitterness, pride—will resurface and wreak havoc in our lives. In Genesis 20, Abraham repeats the same mistake he made 25 years earlier. Despite God's promises, fear takes root again. But even in failure, God shows His presence, His power, and His grace. In this message, Pastor Zach Terry walks through Abraham's struggle and shows us how God:  Exposes the roots that remain hidden in our hearts Confronts us through truth and conviction Leads us to confession and renewal Continues to use us by His grace Sanctification is slow, intentional work. It's about pulling out the roots before they destroy the foundation. The good news? God never gives up on His children.

Safe by Association | Genesis 18 What does it mean to be spared by God's mercy, not because of our own righteousness, but because of who we're connected to? In this message, Pastor Zach Terry walks us through Abraham's bold intercession for Sodom, Lot's tragic compromise, and the sobering destruction that followed. We'll see how: - Laws give instruction, but consequences bring conviction.  - Lot "drafted" behind Abraham's faith without making it his own. - God's judgment is just—but His mercy is greater still. At the heart of the story is a powerful truth: only by being Safe by Association with the Righteous One, Jesus Christ, can we stand on the day of judgment.

The Bloody Sign of the Bloody Covenant | Genesis 17 In this powerful sermon, Pastor Zach Terry teaches the significance of God's covenant with Abraham in Genesis 17. God changes Abram's name, promises descendants, nations, and kings, and seals it with a bloody sign—circumcision. This shows us that God's covenant is not casual, but costly, pointing forward to the greater covenant fulfilled in Christ, whose blood secures our eternal salvation. From Abraham's call to walk blamelessly, to David's courage against Goliath, to Moses' near-death encounter on the way to Egypt, the message is clear: the covenant is serious, it is sacred, and it is sealed in blood.

⏳ God's Waiting Room | Genesis 15–16 Waiting on God is one of the hardest tests of faith. In Genesis 15–16, Abram and Sarai wrestled with doubt, impatience, and the temptation to take matters into their own hands. Instead of trusting God's timing, they tried to "help Him out"—and the result was pain that echoed for generations.  In this powerful sermon, Pastor Zach Terry teaches:  ✅ Why waiting is often the greatest test of faith  ✅ How Abram's belief was "counted as righteousness" (Genesis 15:6)  ✅ The danger of shortcuts and scheming outside God's will  ✅ How to trust God's promises when His timing feels delayed  If you've ever wondered why God hasn't answered your prayers yet—or how to stay strong in the waiting season—this message will encourage and challenge you.

Lot and Abraham were both called "righteous"—yet their lives couldn't have looked more different. One lived by faith, the other by sight. In this message, Pastor Zach Terry unpacks the difference between a believer passionately pursuing God and a backslidden believer whose life is wasted. From Lot's choices, we see the warning signs: - Decisions made without prayer - A life in constant need of deliverance - Deference to the carnal rather than the spiritual A backslider is the most miserable of all—too much of God to be happy in the world, and too much of the world to be happy in the church. But there's hope. God still delivers His people and calls us back to Himself.

Strapped In or Falling Fast? | Genesis 11:26–12:9 What is the nature of saving faith? In a world full of spiritual "placebos," Abram's story shows us the real thing—faith that trusts God's character before it sees God's plan. From a glittering, idolatrous Ur… to a call with no map… to a lifelong pilgrimage with the Lord—Genesis 11–12 marks the turning point from human collapse to divine redemption. In this message, Pastor Zach Terry unpacks: Why Abraham is Scripture's archetype of faith and central to New Testament theology How God's pursuit comes first—saving faith is our response to His call Why real faith clings to a Person, not a plan ("Go… to the land that I will show you") How faith is a pilgrimage, not a pit stop—shaping our home, relationships, and worship How to spot false faith and strap into the only One who truly saves Don't free-fall with a counterfeit. Strap into Christ.

In A Curse, a City, a Call, Pastor Zach Terry walks us through one of the most sobering—and strangely familiar—chapters in early Genesis.
